One muffin and one bottle of water starts my work day which totals under $5.00. This deli does offer salads, sandwiches and including a salad bar. Chaotic check-out line for a non-systemic order intakes. Service is Meh. My muffin was okay as it was neither stale, nor moist but okay.
I really like City Market, on many different levels. The staff is great, the food is consistent, and quite good at that.
The amount of choices for eats here is quite remarkable. 9 times out of 10 I end up with a bacon egg & cheese. However, I really like the salads, chicken salad on a roll, salmon dinner, and frankly everything else I have eaten from there.
Only piece of advice I can offer is to ask for variations if you want something else, or don't like something. Everyone there is willing to help, and remember there is a card minimum.
It isn't a five star restaurant, but a damn good deli & place for lunch.
That's it! Enjoy!
I like this place. Decent service and my veggie burger was really good. I'm pretty sure it wasn't organic, but I'm not going to quip over little things. You get the choice of steak or curly fries, so I was so pumped for curly fries.
It was kinda pricey (more than Chipotle) for a burger, fries and a drink, but it was pretty good and it was a nice day out, so I went to the park and enjoyed my meal, knowing it would be the last time I went there. Its nice to try, but I'm not going to be a regular.
Very friendly staff. A little pushy, but still very friendly. I ordered the quiche, and they heated it up for me. It was delicious; a classic quiche with no frills or bizarre "twists." I eat a lot of quiche, and this one was fabulous! They have almost a plethora of options. I was a little overwhelmed by them!
Limited seating available; it's more of a grab-and-go kind of place.
Do you work in Flat Iron District!?
This place is awesome for a quick inexpensive cheap lunch spot!
I think what makes this different than any other slightly upscale deli/quick bite cafe in NY is the selection of desserts (gelato, red velvet cupcakes, oreo cheesecake bars, black and white cookies) and soups.
I'm a big fan of the varieties of soups!!
They change it up everyday so I don't get bored.
It only cost $4.30 for a small soup.
You get a free piece of bread with the soup.
Some of the soups they have:
Vegetable Lentils Soup
Italian Wedding Soup with Meatballs
Chicken Gumbo
Vegetarian Vegetable
Shrimp Bisque
Chicken Noodle
Cuban Black Bean
Green Pea Split
Split Pea Soup
It can get pretty busy during lunch hour. But I can usually always get a seat.
The staff is very friendly and quick to ring you up. They have a artistic mural in the back you can take a gander at.
Apples and Oranges= $1
Bananas $0.50
While I love this place, the food itself is "A-OK." But I keep coming back because "Yay! I'm a fan"
There are a multitude of places just like City Market Cafe, a combo deli / lunch spot where the heartbeat of the business depends on the breakfast crowd and the lunch flow. Offering many options from salads to sandwiches to a self serve buffet, the place is more of a zoo during the lunch hour than a dependable place to grab a great meal.
I used to enjoy going there during the early morning hours to score one of the few decent things on their menu: breakfast sandwiches. A nice ham, egg, and cheese sandwich seemed to be a good way to start the day but I started foolishly opting for lunch when I started coming in later during the day.
But the lunch rush can be brutal sometimes. Lines galore typically, rushed service, and slim pickins for things like their lunch buffet. Ironically, the food is pretty bland overall. Their soups, sandwiches are ho hum worthy and even the ever popular salad bar takes a hit from time to time. As for the buffet, don't bother.
Not that prices are too high, but they've seen their fair share of hikes over the past couple of years. Some folks will likely complain the panini is 40 cents higher than it used to be, or why the pizza in all of its near inedible glory is nearly $2 higher than the last time I bought one. It is a hit or miss type place, less on the hit and many more on the misses.
Sorry to say City Market Cafe has gone way down hill. The Salad bar is no longer $7.95, it is now pay $1 for every extra item!!! WTF This was the only good thing about this place. I was shocked when my salad was $15.95–I think NOT.
Also, they received a B on their sanitary grade. B = No Bueno.
Dear City Market Cafe -read your reviews, the salad bar was the only thing keeping people coming to your spot! Bring back the endless $7.95 salad.
In an area overrun with food choices this place fails miserably. The selection is typical of others nearby, but that's quickly negated by the chaos of ordering. It's pretty much a free-for-all at the counter as it's in the middle of the store. The staff themselves are on the rude side, almost as though they're doing you a favor just being there. The prices are on par with everywhere else. Another big negative is the lack of seating. Definitely worth walking by to one of the many other spots.
